About EthicVault
EthicVault is not an AI policy tool. It is execution-layer infrastructure — a deterministic barrier that prevents non-compliant AI actions before they reach production systems, with every verdict anchored to an immutable ledger.
The problem
Enterprise AI systems execute trades, transmit data, and modify records autonomously — with no deterministic enforcement between intent and action. Existing tools are advisory: they flag, score, and report. They do not stop. And because they run as software beside the model, the same input can produce a different outcome depending on the floating-point backend it lands on.
Our position
The Friction Gate intercepts every AI-generated action at the execution layer — below the model, before the runtime. Verdicts are computed in fixed-point arithmetic against frozen thresholds, bound to cryptographic proof, and enforced without discretion. In our silicon line, the same verdict physically opens or interrupts the actuation path itself.
Deterministic governance is not a research idea here. It is built by operators who spent their careers where delivery quality, risk, and accountability meet — in enterprise consulting, national-security research, and global supply chains.

Patent & Corporate Counsel
Counsel to EthicVault on its patent portfolio and corporate matters, including the pending U.S. applications covering the governance method and its hardware embodiments.
EthicVault's architecture is the subject of pending U.S. patent applications covering both the software governance method and its hardware embodiments.
A computer-implemented method for governing outputs of an AI language model: layered separation of computation from authority, fixed-point state, ordered validation, and proof-bound execution.
The same architecture enforced in silicon — governance SoC, hardened IP macro, and a hardware execution restrictor interposed in series with the actuation path of medical, automotive, and payment devices.
The fixed-point gate has been expressed in synthesizable HDL, verified bit-exact against a golden model, and carried through timing closure on FPGAs from two different vendors with identical dispositions.
